The Louisiana Campaign Newsletter

What is this Pelican, anyway?

 The Pelican is the campaign newsletter of the Louisiana State Medical Society. It was first used in 1987, with Donald Palmisano, M.D., J.D., as editor, to launch the campaign of Daniel H. Johnson, Jr., M.D. for the position of Vice Speaker of the AMA House of Delegates. The newsletter is intended to inform AMA delegates and alternates about the LSMS candidates for AMA office. This year the focus will be on Dr. Palmisano in his campaign for our AMA Board of Trustees.

Dr. Palmisano was first elected to the AMA Board of Trustees on June 26, 1996. On June 18, 2002, he was elected President-Elect of the AMA.
